mean, malicious, false, aud cowardiy at
tacks which, inspired by designing
knaves, have been made upon the general
officers.
The property of Mrs. Baird, on Broad
street, Philadelphia, was offered for sale.
We investigated carefully and found that
1t was a tirst-class property and was
worth $4,000. The house, barn, out
buildings, and lot cost $4,000 in cash.
BY discreet management it was obtained
for $45, 000-$5, 600 less than the sum
which tue General Assembly voted for
the purchase Of suitable place. Since
we removed the headquarters to that
building we have been offered $4,000
more than we gave for it by one party
and $4,000 by another.
The charge made that 'the General
Executive Board had squandered the
funds of the order in a reckless purchase
of a palace among capitalists and
nabobs'' is silly when it appears In a
paper published in the interest Of capital
but when a labor OaDer DlaVS DarrOt. and

Don't Toy with the Ostrich.
Fran me PA,LadelpAia Press.

from me LWtGudetpfbtU Tebbs
1t is possible that many readers OF the
Introductory chapter to Rider Haggard's
latest novel, JESS" regarded the hero's
fight with the ostrich as a simple display
Of the authors imaginative powers, and
treated his description of the birds COM
bative powers with skepticism. DR..
Horace Jayne and DR.. +. A. Kelley, Of
the Biographical Department at the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania, have been dis
setting the ostrich which died recently at
the Geological Gardens. DR.. Jayne said
yesterday he had found as the result Of
his research that The accounts OF the pow
ers Of the ostrich were not exaggerated
in the least, and that the bird could easily
strike a man dead with a single blow OF
its leg.
1--WE found over \ dozen stones and
broken pieces of brick in It's gizZard,'
said DR., Jayne, switch IL swallows to
help the digestion of food. We only found
two copper cents instead of the hidden
treasures we had been led TO expect. The
muscles under the wings, contrary TO the
rule In other birds, were but slightly de-
Veloped, while the muscles Of the legs
were very strong. We nave just finished
catalogulng the books in the library OF
the biological department, in which DR..
Harrison Allen aud DIR. Joseph Leldy are
greatly Interested"

PALATKA, FLA, March 25.-Palatka is

HOLSTER. formerly of Savannah, has dis
posed OF his very desirable lot on the
Shelley block to a company that have
ample means to carry out their plans, in
ing Ii one that will not be excelled in
the state.
Capt. ID. F. Larkin, owner OF a large
hotel in Watch Hill, X. l., is in the city.
Capt. Larkin, before the fire, was proprie-
tor OF one of our leading hotels. The lot
on which his house stood has been idle
since that terrible night, but if all is true
that is SAID TO be it will no longer be SO.
We learn that ne will rebuild this sum-
mer a better and larger house. The pro-
posed site is one of the best in the city,
and Will greatly facilitate the rapid
growth OF this place.
Circuit Court for the Fifth judicial
circuit COnvenes In this city April o. The

From the Athens (Ga.j Eanney- WdrcRmdn.
Wednesday morning the duel was all
the talk. The Banner-W atchman was
secured for news and pretty soon the is
sue was exhausted. The wires were
worked for latest Information and the
MONDAY papers eagerly scanned. These
Issues contained but little new save the
announcement that board OF honor was
In session in Augusta, and that II was
Delleved the matter would be amlcaDly
adjusted.
1t is but fair TO Mr.. Tom Cobb to say
mat he ala not anticipate the turn winch
the affair has taken. His challenge was
pronered upon the idea that the usual
meeting under Queensberry rules would
follow. When the alternative of weapons
was chosen by his Antagonist, however,
ne promptly accepted the conditions.
1t may also be just to Mr.. Chisholm 10
conclude shat having already engaged IN
one fstlcuff with MIR. Cobb's younger
brother, ne preferred to change the scene
OF conflict to more neutral ground anC 10
continue the contest under more decisive
regulations.
There is a matter touched in the printed
reports and kilograms sent out from
Augusta which should be corrected. Inc
trouble did not arise from any charge
about "cheating in examinations" as
those accounts declare. So far as we can
learn there was some discussion between
MIR. William Cobb and Mir. Chisholm about
the latter's being prompted In his law
recitatiOns by tellow-student. Mr..
Cobb was chatting him, and Mr.. Chisholm
admitted that a companion had suggested
an answer TO an oral question in class,
but denied that he had aVaIied himself OF
such aid. 1t was from this we learn that
the trouble arose which eliminated In the
hight on the campus.

Lumber Statistics

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Northwestern Lun-
brmdn in it's issue of tomorrow will print
statistics as to the lumber trade for the
Northwest for 1886, with comparisons with
the product of former years. The grand
total of the white pine lumber product
of the Northwest for 1886 was 1895.
$4,000 feet. This is three hundred
and seventy million feet in excess of
the preceding year, and is only slightly
Short of the total cut for the years 1882. 1913.
"a. The greatest gains were in the older
milling districts. The grand total of the
single product of the Northwest was
4,577, 53l,0 900 shingles, which is larger
showing than in any preceding year. Fig
ures are cited as showing that the maxi
mum annual lumber product of white pine
districts has probably not yet been reached.
The stock of lumber on hand at mills at
the close of the year is placed at 3,06S, 093,-
600 feet or one hundred and seventy mil
lion feet less than at the close of 1885, and
four hundred and fifty million feet less
than in 1884. The stocks of shingles were
thirty-five millions more than in 1885 and
two hundred million less than in 1884.
